Chapter 257 Negotiations also need to be reciprocal(3/3)

Because she didn't think about other things at all, and did not consider the situation within the country, she just wanted to fight.

Awesome, really amazing.

The three old men had this idea at the same time. They didn't think Juanjuan and Xiaobao didn't know the price of the war, but the two children knew it clearly, but they used their age advantage to put pressure on the Tubo people. The effect was still so good.

But Mu Jiji didn't know Juanjuan and Xiaobao's skills. He was really scared. The two kids were so easy to do it. So he asked tentatively: "How much do you think should be enough to eat meat?"

"Ah? Eat meat? It's not much money to eat meat. Don't you have to eat donkeys and horses. Do you have cows? If you have cows, it's more expensive. A regular cow can be counted as fifteen stakes. After all, my ox from the Tang Dynasty is not so delicious, and the court is in charge of it.

If a donkey and an ordinary horse is useless, we can use poultry meat instead. Our family does this one, and it is very easy to raise. If a chicken is sold in my farm, it will be twenty cents and weigh about ten kilograms. One kilogram is only two cents. How heavy can a donkey be? For you to calculate more, two hundred kilograms, that is four hundred cents. How heavy can a horse be? I will calculate more, four hundred kilograms, and I will calculate six hundred kilograms for a cow.

Isn’t this price just coming? The donkey is basically 400 ci, the horse is 800 ci, and the cow is 1,200 ci, which means another 200 ci. This is more than what to do, how to change it? The specific weight must be weighed out at that time.

Of course, there is another point that you have to compensate you. After all, when you are transported, sometimes the weight will decrease. Based on the friendship between us, I am willing to pay this money, one pound plus one penny, isn’t it?”

Zhang Xiaobao gave such a price, using the price of chickens, and measuring the price of livestock by weight. If you put it in Zhangjiazhuang in Sanshui County, the price inside can be sold for twenty cents, which is a lot. Whoever buys other people’s money will raise it at home if you have nothing to do.

"How is this possible? It's a donkey and a cow. It's not just for use, but the taste is different." Ke Mu Jiji argued that it must not be sold at this price.

"Why is the taste different? Indeed, it's not as delicious as chicken. My smoked chicken and roast chicken are not ordinary things. I'll invite you to taste it later. As long as you can make the flavor of donkey meat and beef so much, I will raise the price for you."

Zhang Xiaobao also refuted.

Kemu and seven people have already tasted it. There is a special shop for smoked chicken roasted chicken in Yizhou. I don’t know what was added to it. The taste is really good, especially the pine bone chicken. When you grab one leg, you will shake it gently and the meat will fall.

But this is not because the chicken is really delicious, but because the methods are different when making and the seasonings are used are also different. Even for livestock, if the same method is used, the taste will only be better.

But Mu Jiji knew it clearly, but he couldn't say it. He knew that once he said it, the other party would have reason to lower the price. He first raised the price of his livestock, and then said the cost of making it, and in the end, maybe it was lower than the current one.

Negotiation naturally requires means, but Mu Jiji immediately put this matter aside and said to Wang Juan: "The price is too low. Let's talk about war matters. It's better to do this. I will compensate the two families of Zhang and Wang, and I will compensate the Tang Dynasty for 50,000 yuan. The Tang Dynasty will no longer send troops to me, Tubo."

"That's not OK. It's too little. You have to compensate my family for 200,000 yuan and our soldiers for 100,000 yuan. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would have to fight."

Wang Juan shook her head to Ke Mu Jiji and refused, saying her conditions. It didn't sound like a lot, and it only cost 300,000 yuan.

For Tubo, 300,000 guan of money could be easily taken out, but the purpose of getting it is no longer like this.

He asked Wang Juan again, "Then let it go? Then I will really pay for the money from Tubo, so you can't regret it. Let's make a note."

"Okay, Xiaobao, write." Wang Juan agreed without any hesitation. Zhang Xiaobao wrote a contract, and the contents were what Wang Juan said, in duplicate, and both parties pressed their handprints.

Ke Muji happily put it away, preparing not to mention the second thing and leave for the next plan, Wang Juan smiled at him and said:

"Kemuji, the characters are written on them. Within a month, if you send things to Tubo, you must reach 300,000 yuan. I have the characters in my hands. If you dare to lie to me, if I don't organize a large army of 300,000 to massacre all your Tubo, I will hang myself at the Pengzhou Pass, Xiaobao."

"I promise to support you. Even if I sell all the transactions in my family, I will raise enough money for you to attack Tubo. At worst, I will kill all the Tubo people and find another transaction to make money. If I can't do it, I will hang you there with you." Zhang Xiaobao said in support.

As soon as the two said this, Ke Mu, seven people, including Old Man Bi, were moved. The words were so cruel that they used their lives as a gamble to threaten the other party to see if they would send troops.

Ke Mu Jiji smiled awkwardly and said, "No need to do this, right?"

"It is necessary, I will do what I say, just like when I entered you, Tubo and killed you tens of thousands of people. My words are the final decision and no one can change it." Wang Juan stared at Ke Muji's eyes and said word by word.

"Okay, I will definitely give it, 300,000 yuan, and it will be delivered within a month." Ke Mu Jiji did not dare to doubt the little girl's determination. Such a big child could do anything.

As soon as Kemu Ji agreed, Wang Juan smiled and turned his head to Old Man Bi and said, "Grandpa Bi, hurry up and send a letter to the capital, and I will make the decision to the court. By then, the 200,000 yuan my family will get will be given to the court, and my family will not want any money."

Old man Bi smiled and nodded and said to Wang Juan: "Juanjuan, there is no need to do this. Even if your family leaves all 300,000 yuan, the court will not say anything. The emperor is a famous monarch of a generation. The portrait of you and Xiaobao will be posted in the emperor's study. When you meet the emperor, make some good things for the emperor. Even if you are about to mobilize the entire Jiannandao soldiers, the emperor will happily agree to you.

You may not know that when you were leading the army outside, the court was waiting for the news of your return every day, and even if the court was stopped, you should take care of the news of the past from Yizhou first."

"Yes, that's right. Juanjuan, you don't know how many people like him and Xiaobao. If you agree, you agree. So what if you represent the court? No one will punish you." Old Man Yao also helped.

Wang Juan showed a bright smile and turned to the stunned Kemu Jiji and said, "Did you hear it? Get me money quickly and want to play tricks with me. You are too young. Who am I? I am a little kid, who can see the same knowledge as a little kid?"

Ke Mu Ji looked at Wang Juan blankly. He was so surprised, surprised by the imperial court's indulgence on Wang Juan, and also by Wang Juan's intelligence, that he knew what he was going to do later.

Yes, I want to achieve the purpose of disagreement through this negotiation, so that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty no longer believes in Wang Juan, and even punishes the crimes of the Zhang and Wang families. It would be even better if the Zhang and Wang families could leave the Tang Dynasty with grudges.

But unexpectedly, my plan was just started, and the news I got from the other two people was hard to believe.

The court in the capital of the Tang Dynasty actually recognized Juanjuan and Xiaobao. From this point of view, it would be the same if Juanjuan did not guarantee to send troops if he was in her position.

While Kemuji was thinking about things, Wang Juan, who had finished eating marshmallows, yawned and said, "Let's just come here today. You can send a letter back and ask, and we will discuss the matter of using livestock to exchange food tomorrow."

After saying that, Wang Juan stood up and left, Zhang Xiaobao followed behind, and Old Man Bi and the other two stopped accompanying each other. There were only two maids responsible for arranging a place for Ke Mu and the seven people to rest. The rest money was not needed, and the Zhang and Wang families were borne by themselves.

But after Mu Jiji returned to the residence arranged by the Zhang family, he began to prepare to write a letter. He dipped his pen and ink. When he was about to write, he suddenly didn't know how to write it.

Did you just write that your negotiations were not successful and that when you were plotting against others, they made Tubo lose 300,000 dan in a row?

When Tubo attacked the border, he did not say that he would compensate the Tang Dynasty even if he was defeated. Today I would like to discuss such a result?

It was too late to repent, and the handprints were pressed. If you don’t pay for it, Tubo would wait for the attack by the Tang army this winter, and Juanjuan was led to the battle.

After thinking for a while, Mu Jiji felt that he had made a mistake. He sighed helplessly, picked up his pen and started writing on the paper. The other six people followed him and waited very honestly.

Today they also saw the difficulties of negotiations. Juanjuan and Xiaobao didn't care about other things at all. They said it immediately as long as they thought, and even wanted to sell all their property for money to attack for a single word.

Such an opponent has never been seen before, or even heard of, but the court may admit that it is unlucky, and today it is really unlucky.

At the beginning, the man who looked at Wang Juan with murderous intentions muttered: "If we had known we would have killed both of them. As long as they didn't lead the army, they would have to be afraid that they would not succeed? Even if I would die in the end."

At this time, Ke Mu, who had finished writing the letter, sent all his anger on this person.

"Then why didn't you do it just now? You scared your head and shook your head. How dare you talk about this now? Kill, kill, do you really think they are so easy to kill? Needless to say, you just took a look at it at that time. You are already dead now, so they don't care about the matter of fighting between the two countries and not killing them."

But Mu Jiji always felt that it was very dangerous when he sat opposite Juanjuan. He didn't know where the specific danger came from, but he just didn't dare to do it casually.

After teaching the people who came here, he began to think about how to exchange Tubo's livestock for more food, otherwise many people would starve to death this winter. By then, the Tang Dynasty would send troops again while the Qinghuang was not in response, and would Tubo still have the power to fight back?

The person who was trained did not speak out anymore, but Mu Jiji talked about something he didn't want to mention when he was staring at him. At that time, he felt that his soul was about to disappear, as if he would have to be killed in the next moment.

The other five people also became silent. They seemed very helpless about the results of today's negotiations. They couldn't help much, nor could they show the momentum of Tubo. They just kept talking about the need to send troops. What kind of momentum can they have?

When Ke Mu Jiji sent the letter away, he seemed to have just been fished out of the water, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan became much easier. If the victorious country and the defeated country were negotiated, if the defeated country could still benefit the defeated country, then the negotiating people should not be killed.

A cowardly thing must not be done. Wang Juan began to plan what means to make Tubo really scared and be at a disadvantage in future negotiations.

Zhang Xiaobao was calculating how much money the other party needed to compensate. He could not ask for the price casually, but he had to consider the other party's tolerance and the financial support of the Tubo country.

As he calculated, Zhang Xiaobao stopped and said to Wang Juan: "It is estimated that it is impossible to ask them to compensate too much at one time. It will take several years to delay. The years have not been easy, especially after we left Yizhou, the people in Tubo are prone to regret it easily."

"Isn't the compensation 300,000 yuan? Can't he take out this little money from Tubo?" Wang Juan didn't expect that Zhang Xiaobao was going to ask Tubo to pay in installments and asked in confusion.

"Three hundred thousand coins are direct compensation for war, and the compensation for the people of Wangjiang. This also needs to be calculated. The ultimate purpose of killing people is also to get benefits. If there is no benefit, what is the use of killing people all over the world? I plan to ask them to compensate Wangjiang for the 600 thousand coins, which includes compensation for the families of the dead and compensation for the local economic construction due to this matter.

As for the whole family, there is no way. I will set up a separate fund in that place to help build the local area. We cannot ask for this money, and we have to return it to the people.

How could Tubo take out 600,000 guan? Then we have to obtain it through means, give them a hope first, believing that after they recover a little, they will no longer need to take out the money, so that they will agree to the previous money.

My idea is to ask them to give 200,000 guan at one time, and the remaining 400,000 guan will be paid off within five years. If their food is not affected by any impact next year, they will turn against the money."

Zhang Xiaobao has been shaking for such a long time, and even if he can get 200,000 guan, he is not going to get the rest back.

Wang Juan listened to Zhang Xiaobao's words and thought carefully, and finally understood Zhang Xiaobao's plan and said, "What you mean is that when we want to fight them, we have an excuse, right? He knew that they would be able to pay back the debt, but he still offered it and gave them a chance to pay back the debt."

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Yes, that's what I think. Tubo must be defeated in the future. Even if you don't need to lead the troops, Li Longji will not let them go, especially because our arrival has changed the economic situation of the Tang Dynasty in advance. Li Longji could not bear the opportunity to not fight, but instead waited.

After a while, our good gunpowder formula and technology can become a condition for exchange with the court, and we can get a lot of benefits from it. As long as the court proposes it, we can know whether we want to use troops to the outside world.

According to my estimate, the court will expand around the country in at most three years, not only because of the technology we provide to improve productivity, but more importantly, the development of our medical school, it is easier to have children and the population will grow significantly. In three years, if the people work hard, some families can even give birth to three children.

In addition, many men died during the early war, and the proportion of women increased. Most of them, who are a little richer, will marry a few wives. The cycle of having children does not depend on the men, but on the women."

Wang Juan thought about it for a while and asked again: "How do you know that our dynasty will use troops against Tubo?"

"Because the Turks are now afraid of being beaten, and there are internal ***s. If you were to do this, would you first use your superior forces to attack a tough country, or a country that has already surrendered to our dynasty? Even if you are pretending, you should do it for others to see it.
